Cristoph POV
Nabibingi na ako sa kakakanta ni Tiff sa labas mg bahay sa may garden. Dad and Mom seems to enjoy it while Kuya ay wala lang pakialam.
She really loves to sing and buti nalang maganda ang boses, kung hindi wasak na eardrums ko. Dad was smiling after he sips his coffee. He loves listening to Tiff singing,as usual kasi favorite.
But Dad would deny that Tiff is his favorite, actually Ate and Tiff are the apples of his eyes. Mom, maybe a bit tolerating pero pantay pantay naman kami kung tratuhin.
I sipped on my coffee and finished it then grabbed Kuya’s arm para umalis na kami. He was just playing with his phone anyway. I don’t know what he and Trina did after asking him to drop her sa bahay nila.
Anyway, I told dad and mom we were going but before we could get out of the dining he said something.
“Pupunta ditto Kuya Matt mo this lunch, kayong dalawa better be here.” He said. I salkuted saka tumango naman si Kuya then off we go.
Gamit naming ang usual na sasakyan na ginagamit namin ni Kuya for work, he doesn’t use his car pag working days, saka lang pag may lakad siyang personal,
I was going to ask him anong nangyari sa kanila ni trina while we were on our way when he said babalik na siya sa condo niya.
“May one month pa tayo ah, bago matapos 3 months na walang sweldo.” I said.
“Sapat na 1 month na paghihintay, I saved the allowance nung 2 months so I can deal with 1 month more nang nasa condo na.” he said while driving. Biglang sumilay ang ngiti ko nang may maisip ako.
“Teka, bakit nadedesisyon kang umalis na ngayon after mo mahatid si trina, may nangyari ba?” I wiggled my brows. Pero he just grimaced.
“Anong nangyari? Wala. I just want to be independent again. Nasasanay nanaman akong inaalagaan ni Tita Jessie.”
“Sigurado k aba?” I snickered.
“Oo.” Tipid niyang sagot.
“O baka ayaw mo lang malaman naming na inuuwi mo na pala si Trina sa condo mo?”
“Bahala ka nga sa iniisip mo.”
“Hala grabe siya sakin oh.”
Hindi na ito kumibo habang patawa tawa naman ako. Narating naming ang opisina nang maaga pa, so sa top floor lang muna kami tumambay kasi mahangin.Pinalagyan na doon ng tent na maliit ni Kuya na may sala set para pahingahan naming minsan.
It was just 7 am, 8 pa kami papasok talaga but I wanted to go out. Si ikuya matapos maupo sa couch ay di na ako pinansin.
I budged him saka tinignan niya lang ako. May earphone naman pala sa tenga kaya di na ako pinapansin. Tinanggal niya ito saka ako kinausap.
“What?” I rolled my eyes.
“kakausapin sana kita eh may nakapansak pala sa tenga mo. I was going to ask kumusta paghatid mo kay Trina. Nag away ba naman ulit kayo?” he just huffed and ignored me, again.
“Grabe talaga to, pareho talaga kayo ni Kuya Matt. Ganun ba talaga pag panganay ni dad?”
“bakit, ilang panganay ba kami na kilala mo?” napa isip ako.
“Syempre dalawa lang kayo.” Umiling iling lang ito.
He checked on his watch and stood up. Nauna itong lumakad papunta sa pintuan.
“Tara na. 7.30 na, para may oras pa makapag arrange ng documents natin.” Napa ismid nalang nalang ako.
“Teka trabaho yun ng sekretarya ah.”
“Kung di ka gago, wala ka nang sekretarya ngayon.” Napahinto ako saka namilog ang mata.
“Wala na? Bakit?”
“Tanga, ngayon yung effectivity ng resignation nung secretary mo. Remember, buntis at aalis na talaga?”
Nagmadali ako sap ag baba ng hagdanan knowing marami pala akong gagawin.
“Eh pano yung replacement, wala daw ba?”
“Actually meron na.. Di ko lang alam kung magugustuhan mo.”
“Bakit, sino ba?”
Hindi niya ako sinagot at bumaba nalang kami. Pagdating naming sa office may nakita ako sa desk ng secretary ko.
Paglapit namain saka ito pumihit paharap at binate kaming dalawa.
“Good morning po mga sir.”
Trina POV
Nag aayos na ako ng mga gamit ko sa bago kong desk. I was smiling nung naremember kong nakiusap si Alex sakin kagabi.
FLASHBACK
“Thanks sa paghatid.” I told him. We were silent on the way here.
“Sandali.” He called, saka ako napahinto at binalingan siya.
“Bakit? Mau kailangan ka pa?” nagtataka kong tanong. He was hesitating, I can see that.
“Spill. Ano bang sasabihin mo?”
“Kasi… Tomorrow, wala nang secretary si Cristoph, umalis na kasi yung secretary niya.”
“Why? Heartbroken dahil sa kanya?”
“No, no, hindi ganun.”
“Then what?”
“Buntis kasi and aalis na ng bansa with his husband.” I nodded in undewrstanding.
“So? Ano naman problema?” he was hesitating again.
“Wala pa kaming nahanap na replacement, and…” I was just looking at him, waiting for him to continue.”
“Well, ikaw nalang ang sinuggest ni Tita Jessie and Dad.” Namilog ang mata ko.
“What?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just temporary. Until makahanap kami ng replacement.” He said and I frowned.
‘What will I get in return?” I was not going to do that dahil lang nakiusap ka.
“huh? Oh, uhm, may salary pa din just like the old secretary.”
“I’m not after the salary.” Straight forward kong sinabi.
He stared at me then he huffed in annoyance. Nakikita ko naman sa kanya he was already annoyed.
“Okay, what do you want?” I smirked in my triumph.
“Date me, Exclusively. For the period na wala pa kayong mahanap na secretary ni Tope.”
He looked at me na parang may tatlo akong ulo na biglang tumubo. His mouth was agape and I smirked.
“So, take it or leave it.” Bigla naman nag isang linya ang kanyang kilay.
“Show yourself at work before 8 am, understood?” he said pero I just smiled and nodded saka inalok phone ko.
“Number ng new boyfriend ko please?” he snatched my phone and dialed his number saka niya ito binalik sakin.
I just smiled widely and blew him a kiss.
“Night, boyfie. I’ll see you tomorrow.” At inis itong lumayas sa paningin ko.
Akala mo di ako gaganti sa ginawa mo noon? Pwes, pagsisisihan mo ngayon.
END OF FLASHBACK
I heard footsteps nang mga papalapit sakin so I soun around and saw them two walking towards me. Sabay ko silang binati with a wode smile.
“Good morning po mga sir” Saka ako ngumiti ng malapad ulit.
“What the?” napanganga si tope sakin habang naliliit ang mga mata nitong bago kong boyfie.
“Hi sir tope, new secretary mo ako ngayon. Hi Sir Alex, boyfie. Magandang araw!” I waved them in greeting.
“What the hell, Trina? Anong ginagawa mo ditto? Eh diba may sarili kayong negosyo?” he asked me and I just shrugged.
“My boyfie asked for a favor, so eto ako ngayon?” I looked at him but he was staring nap ala at me, well, angrily might I add.
“Tangina, kaya pala ibang mood niya ngayon. May gf nanaman ulit si Kuya.” Napatakip pato ng bibig niya.
“Kelan lang ba, ha?” he asked me and mouthed yesterday.
Tope did not actally like the idea na magttrabaho ako sa kanila, it was a plan long ago but he said dapat sa pamilya naming ako tumutulong.
But again, hindi ko mahihindian si Alex. Siya ba naman makiusap sakin. So I said yes.
“Since magkakilala na kayo, there’s no need for introductions. I’m going ahead sa office ko.” Alex said sabay tumalikod samin but before he could walk away, tin awag ko siya at hinalikan sa pisngi.
“Take care boyfie, I’ll see you later.” Tumingin lang ito sakin ng seryoso saka umalis. Well at least di pinahid kiss ko sa pisngi niya.
Saka ako humarap sa bestfriend ko. He was crossing his arms while looking at me saka ito ngumuso sa office niya.
“Inside. Now!” at naglakad na ito papunta sa loob ng office niya. I followed naman saka ko sinara ang pinto.
“Woi, tope, wag mo akong pahirapan ah. Umoo lang ako dahil sa kapatid mo.”
“Ahh, and to think na wala kanang feelings sa kanya.”
“Shh, basta wag mo akong pahirapan masyado. Hindi ako mabilis pero alam ko naman mga ginagawa ng pagiging sekretarya. Naging sekretarya ako ni Kuya sa company before I handled some business.”
Huminga lang ito ng malalim saka tiunignan ako ng masama.
“Are you trying to get revenge on Kuya?” nanlaki naman mga mata ko saka ako umiling.
“Hindi ah, bakit nasabi mo yun?”
“Wag moko lokohin, trina. Alam kong nasaktan ka sa sinabi niya noon.”
“Pwede ba tope, past is past. Let bygones be bygones. Ayoko na din sumama ang loob ko ulit.” He huffed and nodded.
“Okay fine. Ayusin mo nalang muna mga documents na kelangan kong pirmahan and anong oras mga meetings ko today.” Sumaludo lang ako sa kanya.
“yes sir.” Tumalikod na ako at lumabas ng opisina, I sat sa desk ko then started working.
Suddenly may makuha akong message na galing kay Alex. I smiled. Concern naman pala ang mokong.
How’s your first day? Pinahihirapan ka ba?
